"I had the pleasure of sitting in on many of the lessons my son had with George. He was patient when he needed to be, tough when he had to be and always kept it fun. George is a talented guitarist whose love of the craft spills over in enthusiasm with his students... but mostly, my son just thinks he is the coolest dude he knows!" Deb, parent "Our son, Austin recently started with George after moving into town. George has been able to ignite Austin's passion for learning about and playing music and he now wants to start a band because of his newly gained enthusiasm and confidence. Our whole family loves George!" Kim, parent"George doesn't believe in 'Can't' and he doesn't let his students, either. He's a fine musician with a tremendous ability to to infuse his lessons with technical training and the joy of guitar. We heartily recommend George!" Laura, parent"George not only has the patience and teaching chops in place to help the student grow as a player, but also he listens and caters his instruction to the student's skill sets, ability and goals. That's what makes taking guitar lessons from George so worthwhile - he helps the student get to where he wants to go." Mike, student"Our family was lucky enough to find George when our daughter expressed an interest in learning how to play guitar. She was having so much fun, her little brother asked for lessons, too. We now have real live music in our house. George, who is a serious instructor and just crazy enough to keep the kids interested." Tracey, parent"George is a great teacher who uses his own unique and personal system of teaching. My daughter has improved tremendously and is very happy to be one of George's students." Rick, parent "George Fletcher was recommended and took my son for about two years with bass lessons. My son auditioned for a group in the area and his first big show on stage was like he was playing for 10 years. George had put so much into his lessons that my son was very confident on stage. Now he and his band have cut a CD and are playing all over the Saratoga Springs area." Dan, parent"George's kindness and positive attitude encouraged my daughter to write music, play music for others, and to share her love of life with George. He encouraged her to follow her musical dreams, do well in school, and to appreciate life in general. She is now playing music in Nashville and doing very well, all thanks to George's way of teaching." Dona, parent/student"I picked up the guitar for the first time at around 19 years old. Then I took an extended break until I was 48. I ran into George at a local guitar show and watched him help one of his young students pick out a guitar. What caught my attention most was George's obvious care and love for his students. Helping the kid and his parents find the right guitar wasn't just about saving a buck or two - rather I witnessed a concerned teacher sharing his wisdom and passion and inviting an entire family into his musical world. Why didn't I ever have a music teacher like that? Then it occurred to me that I could! Whether you are are a kid, have a kid, or were once a kid, if guitar is in your blood, you've come to the right place." Ken, student "George is one of those rare musicians who has the ability to translate his real world experiences into instruction in the studio. George will teach you not just how to play like other musicians, but how to play your own music style. He is very down to earth and personable, and makes lessons a joy rather than a chore." Brant, student "George is a great guitar teacher. He's helpful, really funny and makes me want to come back and learn more!" Charlotte, student
